248 - Pitching an Open Writing Assignment
John and Craig discuss open writing assignments, and how to best
pitch to producers and studios looking to hire a writer for a

Then we take a look at the controversy over white actors playing
roles that could have gone to Asian actors, and how screenwriters
can (and can’t) improve the situation.
